— Dave in Texas

Senator Ted Cruz's father. Wow. This is impressive as hell.

Dave's take: Why Marxism sucks, and why America rocks.

"They have both hands in our pockets taking our our hard earned dollars to buy votes."

Absogoddamnedlutely right. Tammany on steroids. This is plain talk, straight up no chaser.

I understand a little bit more why our Junior Senator is pretty friggin awesome.

7 House Speaker John Boehner is sticking to his position: The House will not vote on the Senate-passed immigration bill. Â“IÂ’ve made it clear and IÂ’ll make it clear again, the House does not intend to take up the Senate bill,Â” Boehner said Monday. Â“The House is going to do its own job in developing an immigration bill.Â”

11 I had a college professor that "left" Cuba when Castro took over. He did not like Castro or communists at all. Half of our class time was spent with him bitching about them and how stupid the college kids that were all for the Nuke Freeze movement were. I can honestly say, he was one of my favorites.

69 FreedomWorks for me! Rafael Cruz is a badass, and if even a one third of our immigrants (legal or otherwise) were as good as this guy I'd say let's not just open that border but chip in for airfare. Alas, the man is very rare. And his son has gonads like basketballs.

70 That was awesome. no offense to anyone here because I don't mean you but this is why I think it's odd that you don't allow immigrants to be president (yes I understand the historical context), because this man is so proud if his country or at least of what it was, more proud of America than probably 85% of naturally born Americans.

80 There will be Ted Cruz birthers. We need to have an answer for them. They will not be dismissed as racist kooks by the media so they will have to be rebutted.

Ted Cruz was born in Canada but he was a U.S. citizen from birth (not naturalized) so he is eligible to be President.

Believe me, you will hear people from all over say he is ineligible, be sure to correct them.
